Although there are signs labeled “Danger,” “Stay Out,” and “Beware Ogre” that lead up to the Swamp house, think of it as Shrek’s way of welcoming you home.
The property is a perfectly snug spot to escape from village life and embrace the beauty of nature.
“I’m absolutely delighted to invite you in for a fairytale stay,” Donkey said in a description of the listingposted to Airbnb.

While vacationing in the Swamp, guests will have the chance to stay up late, swap stories, and eat like an ogre — because in the morning, Donkey’s making waffles!
This will be the first time fans are welcomed into Shrek’s humble abode and in true ogre fashion, the toilet, sink and shower facilities will be located off-site, approximately 20 meters away from Shrek’s Swamp.

“Shrek’s Swamp is lovely. Just beautiful. The perfect place to entertain guests,” Donkey said. “You know what I like about it? Everything. Theovergrown landscaping, the modest interiors, the nice boulders, all of it. I can’t wait for guests to experience this muddy slice of paradise for themselves.”
It’s important to keep in mind that staying at Shrek’s Swamp isn’t a contest! Any fan of the ogre can stay for just £0 a night — a nod to the priceless refuge he has provided fairytale creatures of all kinds!

Shrek’s Swamp isn’t the only mega movie mansion that’s been up for grabs as of late.
Earlier this year, Airbnb reopened the doors to theBarbie Dream Housein Malibu ahead of the iconic doll’s July 21 feature film release!

In stark contrast to the ogre’s unique stay, visitors of Barbie’s multilevel pink home enjoyed a disco dance floor, a roller rink, a gym, a bar and grill, and an infinity pool (adorned with floats that spell out Ken’s name, of course).
However, like Shrek’s Swamp, thosestaying at the Malibu mansionwere also able to do so at no cost to them “because Ken couldn’t figure out how to put a price on Barbie’s Malibu Dream House — after all, Ken’s thing is beach, not math!”
